That's a fine looking group of points. You've got the idea. Practice,practice,&more practice. One day you'll wake up & they'll be thin .

Man I hear ya for wasting more stone than you use, but those will look good hafted and sharp is key in my book. Rather let fly a sharp rock than a pretty one, but you have both right there!

 A fine looking set of points. You ought to see the pile of gravel in my backyard.
